"Why is everybody on TV hallucinating?"
I randomly came across a hilarious article on HitFix.com about the recent trend towards hallucinating characters–a trend that has been seen lately on all our favorite TV shows. In his hilarious post, Daniel Fienberg writes:
As I understand it, the rule has always been that one time is a happening, two times is a coincidence, three times is a trend. Last week, by my very unscientific count, at least five characters on shows that I watch regularly found themselves hallucinating, with four of them having conversations with said hallucinations. That goes beyond trend into a full-blown outbreak, TV’s spring equivalent of the swine flu …
Hee. He ends his post by stating:
Maybe next May, though, TV’s writers won’t have this collective hallucination at the exact same time. How about a spate of musical episodes next time, guys?
I second that motion. More musicals, less hallucinations. While they’re at it, put the kabosh on pointless dream sequences. Check out the link below for the full post.
